Signs of underground ocean on Enceladus

[Excalibur]

So an ocean on one of Saturn's moons?!!

Measurements from the new study and previous Cassini data suggest the moon's south pole has an ice layer on top of water on top of silicate rock. If that's true, water circulating through the rock would pick up elements such as phosphorous, sulfur, potassium and sodium into the liquid. These elements are essential for making molecules that life needs, Lunine said.

You can have that water, the water that the only thing protecting it from the intense radiation that wiped the American logo off of the flag placed there years ago, is a whole lot of ice that may even be slightly radioactive itself.
